Fantasy Oscar Winners

Every year we look at the Oscar nominations and think, “WHAT? Where is (insert film/actor/actress here)?” It’s impossible to have every good film on that list but it still riles us up to see brilliant people ignored.

So we made our own list.

Without further ado, here are our fantasy Oscar winners.

Best Film

99 Homes

or

The Lobster

Best Actor

Tom Hardy – Legend

or

Ben Mendelsohn – Mississippi Grind

Best Actress

Rachel McAdams – Spotlight

or

Cate Blanchett – Carol

Best Supporting Actor

Christian Bale – The Big Short

or

Michael Shannon – 99 Homes

Best Supporting Actress

Rooney Mara – Carol

or

Léa Seydoux – Spectre

Best Director

George Miller – Mad Max: Fury Road

Original Screenplay

Straight Outta Compton

or

And if we could add a category for best scene, Joe Manganiello grinding on a fridge to Backstreet Boy’s “I want it that way” in Magic Mike XXL would win it hands down.
